   gotta love the fat-bar. worked with Dan, Reggie and Sebastian for the DL’s. Hit 363 for 5, and 385 for 2. Lifts felt good, and felt like I was driving more with my legs for the initial lift-off. For the metcon I grouped up with Diane and Erika (Team Saltines = Awesome!); my partners looked awesome while I spent the 15 min. sucking wind.

   Also, good to have Chrissy back, and a warm welcome to Laura – nice work ladies.

   I really liked the way that team workout went. Very close, and great teamwork and motivation. Thanks to Salty and Sara for helping coach on the deadlifts.

   I worked with Deano and Greg. We all worked up to 175lbs. Great job to the newer guys. Weight seemed very light for me even with a parallel grip, but I didn’t have much choice. With the arm I had to keep it light.

   Welcome back Chrissy and welcome to Laura. I didn’t get to introduce myself to you but hopefully you will be back and I can introduce myself then.

   @Tom – Ditto Salty’s comment.

   @Salty: Yes, you gotta love the fat bar. 🙂 I admit that I wasn’t going to use it at first, but then I thought “Why not?” 🙂

   I worked up to 363#x5, and my lifts felt pretty good. This was the first time (that I can recall) that I used the fat bar for deadlifts. Hey, all that grip work after class paid off. 🙂

   My legs (and mind) did not feel like box-jumping; thus, I spent most of my reps doing step-ups. I did manage to get a few box jumps here-and-there though. Great work by my teammates Dino (“Pete”) and Christy (“Julie”).

   [Yes, that makes me “Link” to complete the “Mod Squad” analogy. :-)]

   Any time (heavy) deadlifts are involved, I’m loving it. 🙂
